Manage my organisation's email notification settings

Available for the following HR plans: Free, Standard, Premium, Platinum
Available for the following user access level: Admin    

The Email Notification Settings feature provides you with three areas to configure. These are alerts, tasks, and reminders. The first two areas, alerts and tasks, are all notifications to the employee, i.e., the employee gets notified when their timesheets receive approval, when they receive a pay slip, and so on. With reminders, you can choose the user group that will receive these notifications and also at what time this notification will go out from the HR platform.

Warning

The settings enabled by a user within the Notifications Settings feature overrides the settings enabled by an admin within the Email Notification Settings feature.

Getting started

  1. Click the  Settings menu.
  2. Under General Settings, click the Email Settings submenu.
  3. Under Reminders, click the feature that needs reminders configured.

  • Good Morning, One of the team at our company raised a security concern about receiving an email stating they used a new IP address and to review their sign in activity. It was the person signing in so its not an external or suspicious sign in. We just want to determine if it is a genuine email rather than a scam. I tried to raise a support ticket but unable to do so. Appreciate any feedback or guidance on this matter
